    I'd be hard-pressed to think of anything that we didn't like. We had a quick visit but were very impressed with the friendly staff, quirky design, cleanliness, perfect location and affordable price. We enjoyed our stay and wouldn't think twice about staying again.

    We really loved our stay at the Frenchmen! The location was very convenient. The hotel itself was cute. The pool was the perfect spot to take a dip in the middle of the day. There is a nice convenience store around the corner. We'd definitely go back.

    Pool and hot tub

    New Orleans was my getaway stomping grounds when I was but a young lass at Alabama State University. The Bayou Classic, journalism conferences and all-around foolishness were the reasons for my visits in the early 90s. The Essence Fest in 2004, my last visit, left an indelible mark in my brain, making NOLA one of my top 3 US cities. So how is it that I did not return until last month? A baby, work and life, in general, are the answers. The Frenchmen provided another mystical, magical, seductively intriguing reason that the Crescent City lives up to its reputation. I felt like I stepped into the live version of Princess and the Frog and started looking for Dr. Facilier so I could sell my soul to the devil. Located out of the fray of the French Quarter, but just a 5-minute walk to all the action, the Frenchmen gave off voodoo vibes at the door. My daughter and I were quite impressed with the welcoming lobby area as the friendly front desk host checked us in quickly. Our beautiful room featured bright colors, gorgeous artwork and a large, modern bathroom. The best parts of the Frenchmen were the pool and hot tub, which we visited each day we were there. When I go back, I will most definitely bring stay here again! Can't wait!

    Adorable art-filled hotel in the heart of Frenchmen St. Quiet, cute, safe, friendly staff, comfy bed - everything you need. We will be back!

    4 stars for its central location and aesthetics. It was very convenient in getting to all the tourist attractions without having to deal with the night life noise. The room we stayed in 207 faced the courtyard and it did not have any windows. Bed and pillows were comfortable and the staff was very friendly.

    Lovely pool and hot tub in the beautiful courtyard

    I LOVE this hotel. Kit at the front desk was super accommodating and my room was comfortable, cool (great AC), and well appointed. A boutique hotel with great amenities like a lovely pool and hot tub, snacks in the room you can purchase, and a great little lobby where you can buy some pieces from local artists. Obviously, this is on Frenchman Street, so there are great restaurants, bars and MUSIC. Yes, it is noisy. The front desk has ear plugs if you want... I knew what I was getting into so I also brought a travel white noise maker and had no trouble. Do not try to bring a car to this area and find/pay for parking. Much better to make alternate plans for this part of your NOLA experience and use cabs, Lyft or pub transport. Walking distance to everything.

    The BF and I stayed at the Frenchmen with 2 other couples as part of a birthday celebration a few weeks ago. The hotel is absolutely adorable, and very true to website pics. The courtyard area with pool and hot tub is cozy and beautiful. The rooftop bar is a great space to gather for pregaming before you go out or night caps when you get back. Nothing was going on up at the bar when we were there - I'm not sure if it's used for special events/occasions only, but it was nice to have the space. We stayed in room 109 (petite queen), which would be perfect for 1, but a little snug for 2. While one of us was cleaning up, the other would hang by the pool and then we'd switch off. Sleeping was no problem, but 2 people in the room trying to get ready at the same time is a bit of an awkward dance. We always had hot water and the bed was very comfortable. Also, we LOVED the artwork in that room. 109 faces the courtyard and noise was never a problem for us. The only inconvenience was that the bathroom door didn't close completely - it would get stuck at the top. I contribute that to old architecture and humidity. It didn't bother me too much. The lock felt a bit flimsy, but it worked. The continental breakfast was basic, but that's what continental breakfasts are. Coffee, milk, juice, cereal, fruit, etc. It was nice to be able to grab a little something before venturing out for the day. Staff at the Frenchmen was awesome. For the most part, everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful. Shout out to Dave and Malcolm, who were particularly memorable. Frenchmen Street itself was bustling - lots of little restaurants and shops, plus a great brewery right around the corner! Short walk from all the sights of Decatur and Bourbon Street, and the French Market is super close. TONS of live music here, as everyone else will tell you. I think next time I would request a slightly larger room - maybe a deluxe queen - but I would absolutely stay here again and recommend the Frenchmen!

    Toilet proximity to sink and wall where door closed - directly behind sink. It was TIGHT!!

Paint in the room was chipping, mattress was stained, but overall these were things we could ignore. However, something we couldn't ignore while using the bathroom in the middle of our first night, was that we found we weren't alone. There were 3+ cockroaches hanging out near the tub and a few scurried away before we could kill/photograph them. The next morning we went to the front desk, got our refund and switched hotels. Front desk staff was AWESOME, so kind and quick to help us. However, after we asked to cancel our stay and went back up to the room to get our bags and leave, one of the hotel housekeepers decided to come up to our room and "confront us". She wanted us to show her the cockroaches (that we had killed and flushed) and tried telling us she's never seen a cockroach at Hotel Le Marais before, basically calling us liars. Lol, well, here's some pictures to prove it. Let's ask the audience. Positives: The front desk staff was exceptional. Very helpful, very kind and knowledgeable. It's located close to Bourbon and has a nice courtyard. Negatives: ROACHES IN THE ROOMS, confrontational housekeeper, thin walls.

I reserved this place because of the amenities and they do a great job advertising with beautiful pictures. Downside is it doesn't look as beautiful as the pictures and the pool area is a lot smaller and not as kept up with the property. More like a birdbath than a pool to dip into. Upside is the staff is very friendly, they have a bar they reopened, the air conditioning works great, and room service comes every morning if you'd like. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place.

All of the rooms are completely different. This hotel is just what I had hoped--tall ceilings, historic-style furniture, lots of balconies and courtyards with fountains. It is kind of a maze of hallways and staircases. In the parlor they have water, coffee, and espresso, biscotti, cookies, and fruit all day. There is a big fireplace with a gorgeous mantle. There is an elevator--it's tiny. There is a pool in one of the courtyards. One of the best things here? They have three sweet kitties who roam the hotel, although they spend lots of time in the lobby/parlor. We always try to get a two room suite, and this time we got a three room suite. It was perfect. The room we were in was a former slave quarter with two bedrooms. The ceilings were very high--i think the door to my son's room was about 12 feet tall. The bathroom has a rainshower head and the living area has an old heavy wood workspace with a copper sink. There is a fireplace in the living area, as well as one of the bedrooms--the other bedroom had a door to the private balcony. Both bedrooms and the living area have TVs. I asked the gentleman at the desk if this place was haunted and was told "absolutely, especially the 4th floor." Thankfully, we were in the second floor. He told us a few stories, including one that happened recently when two girls came to the desk at 2:00 a.m.. one of the girls was scared and crying. They checked out right then and there even though they were only 2 days into their paid-for 4 day stay. He also told us that when he was working the night shift, a jack in the box in the toy chest under the stairs would make music and pop up at 5:00 a.m. they moved the jack in the box to the attic and he had no idea if it still pops up by itself. He did say that the three cats that live there are there to keep the ghosts in check. We did go up to the fourth floor (the haunted floor) one night. There is a remodel in progress, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't spooked out up there. What great hospitality!!! The staff here is incredibly nice and helpful and accommodating. Such thoughtful touches, like creating maps of the parade route for the first day of Mardi gras. There is nothing not to love in this great hotel, which we will definitely return to--hopefully to room 210!

It was the weekend of my bachelor party and we ran into the manager's shift and she got us all started with some pretty good drinks. It was there that my friend got me a pretty well made Manhattan that i would definitely have again when I go back. For the rest of the long weekend including being out by the pool, both Isaias and Camryn looked after all of our drinking needs. She made a good vodka cranberry and margaritas and Isaias looked after bringing them to us when we hit the pool in the mornings. They were the first people we saw in the mornings for a drink and they never had any pressure from us. We nine guys kept things simple watching sports while waiting for the remainder of the group to come down. On Sunday when the World Cup Final pre-show was on, they got us drinks before we all headed to the airport. Camryn and Isaias were an awesome team at the hotel bar and I hope they are well and getting plenty of good tips. Thanks for a very fun and enjoyable weekend.

The Davenport Lounge features excellent, easy, accomplished jazz courtesy of Jeremy Davenport and his quartet most (but not all) evenings. The food in the restaurant is excellent (as is the service), and staff throughout the venue and spa are top notch - friendly, courteous, uniformly professional. One of the great things is location - it is a very short walk to the crazy of the French Quarter, but a block away - so you have the safety, privacy, and isolation from the party when you need it, you aren't confronted by it as soon as you walk out the door of the hotel, but you are just a short walk around the corner to everything the Quarter and Bourbon Street have to offer. As an historic building, the architecture and aesthetic is much closer to "elegant old New Orleans" than, say, the Four Seasons (very very modern, almost cold presentation) or, for example, the Royal Sonesta which is smack dab in the middle of the crazy. When we come back to NOLA, it will be to the Ritz Carlton.

    This is the first Ritz Carlton we have been to that we left without ever feeling like wow I love it…read morehere.. and it had nothing to do with the city (cannot wait to return to Nola) and everything to do with the inconsistency in customer service. First, I had notated on our reservation that we were there for my husbands birthday, upon check in we received a quick "happy birthday" after my husband stated we were there for his day. Our room wasn't ready yet, no problem, we returned when it was and while getting the keys we overheard a small group next to us being told they'd get a special surprise for their birthday. The employee who told the group that was the same lady that initially checked us in, she saw we overheard and at that point offered my husband a gift from the little store. That was nice, and that was it for the remainder of our stay. Our executive suite was nice, smelled a bit wet/mildew upon first entering but it either went away or I got used to it. The rooms can definitely use some small updates like refreshing the grout; cleaning the couch; adding the shampoo/conditioner/wash to the shower rather than on the separate bathtubs ledge. After unpacking we went down to Davenport lounge and sat at the bar. Frankie was the bartender and the reason we didn't want to try anything else in the hotel. I ordered a cocktail with vsop, he poured VS in his shaker, when I got his attention and told him he said "it is vsop", I said no it is not.. and instead of double checking the bottle he just returned to one of the back shelves of the liquor bottles, instead of acknowledging or apologizing for the mix up, he just poured the vs down the sink and said "let me see if we have it". He walked to the back room and came back swiftly with the correct liquor and proceeded to make my drink. His behavior in this situation really caught me by surprise because I have never encountered such a negative experience at a Ritz location. I did text my experience to the staff and got a cookie cutter apology, not even making me feel like the situation would be brought to Frankie's attention. On our second evening there we were walking back in through the doors on canal street, there was one attendant on each side of the doors, the gentleman on the right was pleasant and said welcome back, while the female on the other side seemed bothered to be at work and was tapping her fingernails on the door handle as she held it open for us. That was rather unwelcoming and just unprofessional. Anyhow, the location is perfect if you're looking to be very close to all the action of the city and the building itself is very nice. We encountered the friendliest staff in valet, I wish I got the name of the First Gentleman we encountered as he deserves praise for his excellent service and can teach some of his fellow employees a thing or two. I have been in love with the Ritz Carlton for a while now from experiences at other locations but I can say that after this visit I will book my next Nola stay at the Four Seasons (where I felt welcomed and valued when stopping in for a round at their lounge).
